Hmmmmm

so no more dps again naaw..do continue from where I stopped

That's scary...but I'm untouchable

Thank God i didn't upload any pics

Hmm interesting

One other easy way is using your IP address.

This is a failed project by Google. I uploaded an image of me driving and google results brought many other people driving.

this is bullshit

Apart from your DP, you can still be traced by different ways including using your IP address.
Only by IT professionals.

correct. but only se un or whoever has access to the db can get it or someone with little it knowledge

Yea, it is truly not as faceless as you think. I received a serious death threat some time in May this year from a story i wrote on nairaland..I had to get the police involved...long story on that one. Anyway, i learnt my lesson. Guys, just be careful about how much detail you share on here.

SirMichael1 you dey read my mind abi...one day nah one day SSS go knack Seun subpoena begin use NL harvest some cassava brained Nigerians who won't stop "acting a life" online with bigotry, xenophobia and vile content.

Bros, this early Monday morning, you wan bring bad market for so many people here, all those celense girls here go remove their Dp if that's say the no deactivate.this place is only fun cos of some fine chicks especially the remance,politics and celeb site.
Me I don fine trouble wella here but I no go fear remove my Dp rather I go arrange my AK48 wella in case of retweet
by action just like anambra bishop

Mtcheww Na today?

Why am I findin it difficult to Spot a Nairalander in Town......Not even inside Bus, inside Mall, in d park....... abi na my Geographical location dey cause am

Ah Ah, I am faceless, nobody can catch me. If you want me to help you destroy your phone in one day give me your IP address. Am even looking through nairaland if I can see an IP address.

Dat means nwaAmaikpe will collect enuf beating sha.

IP addresses can always be changed so no wahala. OP this isn't USA abeg Naija has a long way to go. Even South Africa dey try sef

It not easy as it seem. Wetin concern me self, trace at ur own peril.

Once you upload your photo you are literally not going faceless anymore. Why does this need a thread?

It's not as flawless as they say it is...



I think providing the image url works better than uploading the image the image itself...

And the era of real dps on nairaland gradually comes to a close.
And why is this on fp sef?

Caustics:
correct. but only se un or whoever has access to the db can get it or someone with little it knowledge

Not forgetting that most ppl use vpns

damilare96:
Sometimes I do wonder if nwaakpe is a human being coz a bloody human won't be doing things like that

If you pay attention to that guy, you'll notice he's a brilliant chap with an alter ego. Some of the revelations he makes in his posts are beyond someone who repeatedly tries to act silly.

see as i come dey fear....

Cha! see as you cute for nairaland foto.. me I like you and I wanted to have you as my love.. Hmmm na Monday morning abi.. no excuse because I no go gree.. Seun you dey see the bridge.. optionals

SirMichael1:
A faceless forum is an internet platform where users’ open threads, make comments, engage in conversations all under the guise of being anonymous. Examples are Nairaland, Kongregate, Pantheonmmo, etc.

I'll be focusing solely on this forum and also use it as an example as it is what we are conversant with.

With the inception of google-reverse image search, your display photo on Nairaland could be easily traced back to your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account and people can get in touch with you through those social media platforms. So you aren’t as anonymous as you think after all.

Google reverse image search is simply uploading a photo or providing a url to the photo on google image search and watch google do its magic of finding out similar images.

What this implies…

1. This implies that if you’re an e-bully and you have your DP placed, you could be easily traced back to any of your social media accounts and get arrested for online battery, e-bullying and other offences (are these even legal?)

2. To the ladies who make it hard for guys to slide into their DMs, Emails or whatever, this idea can come in handy for ‘crushes’ to get in touch with the real person behind a moniker on the social media platform and start off a relationship from there (who knows?)

3. To the stalkers… This just advanced your stalking skills to grade ‘A’ and you can infiltrate your victim’s privacy as you wish and banter them off-NL.

4. E-fights will not only start and end on NL with the deactivation of a moniker, so if a moniker deactivates out of frustration, the attacker could still slide into his/her Facebook wall and continue the assault there until he’s blocked

5. The wealthy guys, broke guys, slay queens, gold diggers will finally be identified (Not good right? Yeah)

6. Finally, the most dangerous part. You could be killed! Like really killed. If you’ve provoked a serial killer and he does a trackback of your DP and finds your location through Facebook… You’re skewed! Dead! (Yikes! Scary right? Yeah, that wouldn't matter when you're dead )

All these can only work if your Nairaland DP is on any other internet platform like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc


Caution: Take heed to these things as you can lose your life.

My nairaland account registration self no complete not to talk of pp or dd

This one na for rookies.

If you are using the same device you use to login to your social media accounts to visit faceless forums you can always be unmasked.

To those mentioning IP address, it's not that easy to trace an IP address especially if you are using a mobile device. They can only trace your IP to the mast your phone is connected to at a particular time.

NtoAkwaIbom:
your post no get depth.
how do u talk of un-facing without due recourse to ip address.
With your IP. address, someone can not just track u to u, but track you to ur house or workplace and then beat u up (for all those that say I dey my house come and beat me)

on nairaland if someone sends u a DM and u reply, the person will know ur email address, and with ur email address someone can trace ur oda social media accounts and then find u and ur loved ones.

another thing is, some of us will write a post, share it on our social media walls and bring it here to share as well... all it will take will be to take most of ur post, and search, if it keeps turning up on a particular social media handle.. then that's the face.

another way of unearthing a face behind a moniker is to find an email ripper all, and then rip the email from the persons page, and then work on searching up the email on the social media.


WITH THAT BEING SAID AND DONE, I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT TO ALL THOSE WORKING TIRELESSLY TO UNEARTH THE PERSON BEHIND MY MONIKER.. ladies and gentlemen... WORK HARDER.

What did you you not understand about what I wrote? If you're using a VPN, how would you be traced back using your IP address??

I use a VPN on NL to post comments because my connection isn't secured and people can trace me back.

Finding you from your email? LWKM. How would you find a person that uses mermaidlala@gmail.com on NL and uses oloriokun@gmail.com on Facebook?

Abeg shut up!
